The global hydro turbine generator sets market size was USD 3614 million in 2022 and the market is projected to touch USD 5615.68 million by 2032 at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.
A Hydro Turbine Generator Set, also known as a hydroelectric turbine generator set, is a system used to generate electricity from the kinetic energy of flowing water. The hydro turbine is the primary component responsible for converting the energy of moving water into mechanical energy. There are various types of hydro turbines, including Francis, Kaplan, Pelton, and others, each designed for specific flow rates and head conditions. The choice of turbine type depends on the characteristics of the hydroelectric site. The generator is coupled to the hydro turbine and is responsible for converting the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy. It typically consists of a rotor and a stator. As the turbine spins the rotor, it induces a magnetic field in the stator, generating electricity through electromagnetic induction.
To maintain a consistent output of electricity, a governor system is used to control the speed of the hydro turbine. It regulates the flow of water to the turbine to match the electrical demand, ensuring a stable and reliable power supply. The penstock is a pipe or conduit that directs water from the water source (such as a river or dam) to the hydro turbine. The pressure and flow of water in the penstock are critical for the efficient operation of the turbine.
